Construction Permit & SWPPP

SWPPP
Forms & Documents:
 
One of the following must be completed before any earth work begins on site:
 

STEP 1 – Determine which permit is needed for your construction site.

  • Work done on a single residential lot that disturbs less than one acre and IS NOT located in a subdivision that comprises more than one acre, requires an in-house Mini SWPPP form and an Acknowledgement Letter – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.
  • Work done on a single residential lot that disturbs less than one acre and is located in a subdivision that is an acre or larger, requires an Acknowledgment Letter with reference to a Common Plan Permit for the subdivision – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.
  • All other construction that disturbs an acre or more, e.g. common plan development, subdivision or other phased project, requires a Construction General Permit (CGP) and an Acknowledgment Letter – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.

STEP 2 – Access the Construction Stormwater Webpage through this link:

STEP 3 – Under the “Permit Coverage” header, download the SWPPP template that matches your permit type.

  • Templates for the Common Plan SWPPP and the Construction General Permit are available at http://construction.stormwater.utah.gov.  The Mini SWPPP template can be downloaded by clicking the button on this page.  See Step 1 to determine which template you need.
  • Read through the instructions and information fields on the template, prior to completing the form.
  • Fill in the required fields of the downloaded SWPPP template.

STEP 4 – Obtain Permit Coverage – Notice of INTENT (NOI).

  • At the top of the construction webpage, click the link to “Application for Stormwater Permit and Access the Permit Database”.
  • After logging in (create an account if you’re new), select “New Permit/Plan”.
  • Answer the questions and pay the associated fee.  Immediately after your payment is processed, you will be given a permit number and printable NOI.  Coverage is for one year from the application date.
  • Plain City uses online inspection monitoring, provided by ComplianceGo.  Your construction site will be added to the ComplianceGo database and you will receive a welcoming notice.
